    Prayers for Denise and her family

    St James, ora pro Denise. A beautiful and timely intention, as well as on many of our minds.

    Overdid, vomiting, took a rest day but still determined

    Kate, I walked with insulin pump and CGM. Your diabetes gives you a whole heap of complications over other peregrinas. Test your blood glucose more often while you are unwell and get that under control before you move on. As others have suggested, get some local medical help and make sure you...

    Carrying Grudges and Blessings

    Coleen, I loved your post also. What you call your grudges are your self defence mechanisms. The anger you want to inflict on someone else because they have hurt you. But a grudge doesn't really hurt the other person; it just hurts yourself. It is just another piece of baggage you don't need to...

    300 km instead of 100?

    Hmm... This thread is a bit judgemental. I guess 100km is a good a mark as any to differentiate it from a stroll. Who are any of us to judge another's Camino? As someone said earlier, why not discount anyone who didn't walk from their front door? I met a couple of them and they were...

    Heel Cracks

    Try Flexitol or another urea based cream. It's an Australian product but available internationally.

    Good Things That Happen On the Camino

    Thank you Annie for reminding us of the positives. For me the best this was after walking 30km into Arzua and failing to find our booked accommodation only to be told it was 8km off the camino. My walking partner could barely take another step after walking nearly all day in the rain. We...

    Warning: Improper behavior reported between Astorga and Rabanal

    Pilgrimage has always been a risky business; at least these days there's not so much in the way of wolves, brigands or treacherous maidens getting you hanged. But wherever you get lots of people, no matter how holy or special the place, you will get those who want to exploit it for criminal...

    Advice from St James

    James was certainly impetuous but he was there in the select few on Mt Tabor and Gethsemene. There are some elements of his hagiography that stretch credibility such as Matamoros. The authorship of the Letter of St James has been questioned many times; having said that, the virtuous things that...

    Advice from St James

    I have an app on my phone that delivers a verse from the bible each day and this morning's was from St James so I thought I'd share... “You know this, my most beloved brothers. So let every man be quick to listen, but slow to speak and slow to anger.” ‭‭James‬ ‭1:19‬ ‭CPDV‬‬...

    Where are all the Americans???

    God forbid! St James would be turning in his silver casket!

    Books

    That is a great recommendation! I just finished it. There are some real nuggets of wisdom in there. I think you guys are just feeding my addiction, but maybe that is what I was after... ;-)

    Books

    I've got to admit a slight addiction... to reading books about people's experiences on the Camino. My kindle is showing me 16 and rising. So what is your favourite Camino book and why?
